Every day, decrease your self-centeredness and increase your love of your neighbor. Every day, lessen your reliance on yourself and increase your trust in God.

To become a saint…
If you want to become a saint, be like a child. A child does not comprehend theories of behavior, but it does watch its mother and imitates her conduct, believing her to know everything and always to be correct. Therefore, look to our mother Mary and imitate her example and you will become a saint.
–Francois-Xavier Nguyen Van Thuân (1928-2002)
The only reward awaiting…
When God asked St. Thomas Aquinas, “Thomas, you have written well of me, what do you desire for a reward,” without any hesitation, the Angelic Doctor replied, “Only you, Lord, only you!” When you reach the end of your journey along the Road of Hope, the only reward awaiting you will be God himself.
–Francois-Xavier Nguyen Van Thuân (1928-2002)
